Does anyone know Where I can get a couple of Lionel Quonset huts?

Korber Models also has a Quonset hut.
Thanks for the Korber link, I had no idea they made a good model of that.
I found out that someone else makes what seems like even a better one in resin, which I've ordered two of them: http://www.ebay.com/sch/master...p2060778.m2749.l2654

You can't go wrong with Kober IMO.
Just info for you:
I purchased one of the Italeri kits today to work with in the future. The bad part is it's 072. $30 bucks. I have used other 072 military props and some look very good. This model appears to have good detail so I may even bash it for a better 048 size if necessary.
Good luck in your hunt.

Just more info for your search.
I was fooling around on Grzyboski's web site (forum Sponsor) he has a Lionel 6-22902 from 1998 50.00

Just got them a few days ago. Well worth the money and PERFECT for O scale in every way.
Go to the Masterpiece Models website.
You can also make corrugated metal to scratchbuild a Quonset Hut.

My recommendation: Go with the Korber models!

The Masterpiece models website doesn't have the 1/48 quonset hut listed. They only seem to sell them on eBay for some reason. But they do exist, I have two of them...

Allan, have you seen the Masterpiece models version? So much more accurate than the Korber one. I've recently seen both and compared them and Korber's one, while decent, is no match.
Oh, and I've seen several real WW2 Quonset and Nissen huts over the years.
